I was just a little child, when I grabbed my pencil and started to express my feelings. We can say that I couldn’t run out of ideas: loved to draw comics, funny characters and also everything what I’ve had mood for. I didnt know this time, but my family understood that I’m able to draw till the smallest details even if this takes up a lot of time: half a day or several days too. In the last year of the Primary school I had make a big decision : Do I want to do this seriously or it is only a childish joy? I’ ve got the answer…
Monika Vass - 8 years old
I finished Fine and Applied Arts Secondary School of Budapest at Animation class in 1997. In the same year I had an entry to the biggest animation studio in Hungary, Pannonia as a Clean-up artist, where I’ve got my first real word cartoon experiences. I wasnt a simple person, when they dropped me out through the door, I came back from the window, and when I was dropped again, the next step was the chimney… It doesn’t mean they didn’t need me, only I was need to do my best, to climp up in the gradiation.
After this year, I’ve changed my workplace to Studio Varga where I’ve been worked for 5 years. They respected my workstyle, therefore I became a character supervisor in Budapest and also in China for 2 months.
After 3 years next to the job I’ve had a brand-new exercise, I became a mother. That was clear for me I had to change my lifestyle, and can’t work with the same intensity then before.

Between 2004 and 2007 I was working as clean-up artist in Studio Baesarts and Studio Fabula. That was an out work.
Long time ago the idea was in my mind, til my sons will reach the age of school years, then I have to open myself for different sides of arts. Therefore I applied to the Central European University ( CEU ) and successfully passed the exam in the class of Media. After all these My interest turned to the computer graphics, then I passed a Photoshop Course, later an Illustrator course (online and self-taught).
In computer animation the first step was to know the basic of Adobe Flash, but it was not satisfying me as much as Anime Studio (previously Moho). It provides more freedom in animation for me than Flash.
During these I’ve got my first commissions, like logos, webdesigns, prints, and next my biggest dream, to make children book illustration.
This dream came true this year, the commission by Mediadam, Our Kindest Childrensongs (Legkedvesebb Gyerekdalaink) will be published in january of 2009.
